Swimming with some old friends

Lauren Clark — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 23:13:14 +0000

This afternoon Magen and I went swimming with one of our friends from when we were in junior high. Vered McHaney is from tiny ol Hermleigh, Texas. We lived in Hermleigh for 6 years where my dad was the pastor at the local church and Vered and her family attended. She ended up marrying one of our other friends and they have 4 kids now! Here are some pictures of all of them swimming at mom's house.

I went by our house today and they are finishing the sod in the backyard and cleaning up everything!!! It will be completely done by 5 PM! Thanks to Betenbough, the fastest builders in the west!

And these are our final color choices for the house. Talk about Rainbow Bright! Here is how we will paint...

Living room: dark turquoise

Dining/Kitchen: that real trendy olivey-lime

Movie room: plumb

Master bedroom: light yellow

Master bathroom: man color- browny yellow

Spare bedroom: light orange

Spare bathroom: milky sea foam

Work office: dark brown

Show office: red!

We will have our house completely ready in 3 weeks. We can't do much until Josh paints the house and he is leaving the day after we close to go to youth camp with our church for 5 days. So it will be a few weeks before I start posting "remodel" pictures!

Last week Josh and I flew to the Riviera Maya in Mexico to photograph Vanessa and Ty's wedding at the Occidental Xcaret. She had about 150 people travel from LA and all over to come and vacation with her for the wedding. We LOVE this couple!

Amy and Michael were kind enough to let me photograph them for my brainwash with Brandi Koch of Dakota Photography. Here are the faves.

This one I need to give an inspiration shout out to Natalie Moser. She photographed Josh and I a few years ago like this and I LOVE this pose!

I am finally to my break!! After three weddings this last week I've only got one engagement session and no wedding for the next 13 days! We close on our house on the 8th and move in, so July will be a fun month off. I'll be blogging all of the weddings this week so be looking for them!

This afternoon Magen and I took the dogs to the huge lot of land behind our housing development and let them run around in the flood zone pond. Here are my crazy dogs.

Magen, who didn't want to get muddy or eaten by mosquitos.

Oh yes, guess who got to bathe these beauties all by myself?

London's "trick", I taught her how to get on the hammock with me one day. It's really fun:)

Sadly, we only took about 10 pictures other than the wedding! This is my favorite, I'm sure this little parrot was about to chomp on my lens!
